Divorce

When a couple considers divorce there are a flurry concerns for themselves and their family.

These are some of the questions we strive to answer:

How do I explain my divorce to my family, child and friends?
What do I do if my child feels like they need to choose sides?
How can I tell if my child is having a “normal” reaction to divorce?
How do we develop a routine out of what feels like chaos now?
What do I do when my child will not talk to me after their parenting time with my ex?
How do I handle my fears or empty time when I am separated from my child?
What do I do about my child’s complaints about my ex or my ex’s parenting?
When is it all right to date again, or to introduce someone to my children?
How do I handle a new person in my ex’s life?
How do we handle family events like graduations, birthdays, weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc?
How do I handle step-parenting?

Use divorce as an opportunity to teach.

Teach forgiveness. Teach organization.
Teach resourcefulness. Teach independence and teach your children resilience.
